Pretty fucked up handling by the dispatch. Kid calls 911 twice saying he thinks he’s gonna die and doesn’t get taken seriously.

That’s pretty outrageous, but I have to admit- I too am having trouble wrapping my mind around how he was “trapped”. I mean, we’re not talking about an infant here. I don’t understand how a 16-yr old was unable to free himself. This won’t absolve the operator’s response, of course. But it is strange.

Gotta love when I see stories like “Cops show up to little kid’s house with presents and cake after she calls 911 to invite them to her birthday party” and then I see something like this.

The seat flipped and had him pinned down... He had to use voice controls to use his phone, I doubt he could move enough to find and operate a seat latch.

What I read the theory is that the seat wasn’t properly latched and he leaned over to get a tennis racket, the seat tipped and he got caught between the seat and hatch. https://www.cincinnati.com/story/money/2018/04/12/honda-minivan-seven-hills-teens-death-may-have-been-subject-national-recall/510074002/

Very strange. Still seems to me like there would be an escape route. Don’t you have to at least wake up a phone to use voice control?

https://www.cincinnati.com/story/money/2018/04/12/honda-minivan-seven-hills-teens-death-may-have-been-subject-national-recall/510074002/ I was curious about that as well apparently this is the theory. I still think you could escape. Im not sure if these rear hatches have child safety locks but you can see in their example there’s a interior handle that looks within reach.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The U.S. National Highway Traffic Safety Administration said Friday it is in contact with local authorities and Honda Motor Co in an effort to learn more about the death of a Ohio high school student who died of asphyxiation after getting trapped in a Honda Odyssey minivan.

Kyle Plush, 16, called 911 on April 10 after he told the operator he was stuck in his van in his high school parking lot in Cincinnati and warned he would die unless he was found soon.

That call prompted police to search for Plush at the high school but they were unable to find him.

In a second call to 911, Plush offered more precise information about the location of the van adding: “I probably don’t have much time left. Tell my mom I love her if I die. This is not a joke,” according to a transcript released by police.

NHTSA said in a statement Friday that it is “in contact with local authorities and Honda to understand all of the facts related to this tragic incident. The agency’s number one priority is public safety and NHTSA will take appropriate action based on its review.”

Hamilton County Prosecutor Joseph Deters said he was launching a review of Plush’s death. Deters said Plush died after he was “trapped in the third row bench seat, and it is called asphyxia due to chest compression.”

The Cincinnati Enquirer reported Plush was reaching to get his tennis gear when he was pinned by the third-row seat.

Cincinnati Police Chief Eliot Isaac told reporters earlier this week he was launching an internal investigation and said something involving the second call had gone “terribly wrong” because the operator did not respond to Plush or pass on the information to police.

The operator who handled the second call was placed on administrative leave, Isaac said it is not clear what led to the failure of the operator to respond.

Plush was found hours later unresponsive in the van by family.

Honda spokesman Chris Martin said the company “does not have any specific information from which to definitively determine what occurred in this incident. We can confirm that there were no seat-related recalls affecting the 2004 Honda Odyssey.”

In November, Honda said it was recalling about 900,000 minivans because second-row seats may tip forward if not properly latched after being adjusted. The recall covered 2011-17 Honda Odyssey minivans after Honda said it had 46 reports of minor injuries related to the issue.

We have one of these vans, and that seat is heavy as shit.

I have a van like this. There is no inside handle to open the back door.

Ope, you’re right I guess those handles are on the back of the seat.

Yeah, this is the back of the rear seat. The top latch releases the seat back so it tilts forward. The bottom latch releases the seat bottom, and you use the strap to pull everything back into the well in the trunk area so you can have a flat floor.

You can also just release the bottom latch and tilt the seat backwards. Then you can sit on it like a seat and hang your feet out the back. That’s what happened to the kid. The seat wasn’t latched properly.

And those clips are for hanging grocery bags. No, really.

You’d be amazed at how many people have no idea those little metal hoops on HEB shopping carts are for hanging bags.

I’m a resident of the Cincy area. This story was a HUGE issue work. People are very very very upset about the whole incident. Lots of anger. Lots of confusion. How could this have happened?

I’ve been reading about this the last few days - aside from the handling of the calls by dispatchers and officers, I have quite a few questions. Mainly, how?
